Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 1RQ
What is the function of a proximity detector?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The function of a proximity detector.
Explanation of Solution
Proximity sensors or detectors are used to sense an object's presence without touching it directly. It stops the detector from wearing and allows it to handle hot red metals. Proximity detectors work on different principles. Many metal detectors detect only iron metals, while others could sense all types of metals.
